Moving People anti-discrimination in Mental Health - Name Change!
Moving People is becoming 'Time to Change'.
You may have heard that Moving People, the major programme of anti-discrimination work in mental health, has been looking for a new name – and you may have helped us find one by taking part in one of our surveys.
We’re now delighted to be able to unveil our new identity – Time to Change.
We carried out extensive research to find a new name and consult our supporters about the change, and the large number of responses we received helped us to feel confident in our decision to rename ourselves ‘Time to Change’, which was the most popular of several names that we tried out.
The winning name was suggested by Brian Gumbley from Preston, as part of our Stigma Shout survey.
Brian explains why he chose the name: "I chose ‘Time to Change’ because of my experiences of the public perception of mental health.
I myself have encountered instances of stigma that for lots of service users can ruin their chances of a quick recovery and return to employment of some kind. Stigma hurts.
I hope we are approaching a Time for Change!"
Over the next few months you will be hearing from us as Time to Change, as we stop using our old name, ‘Moving People’.
Our interim website is still the same for now but we’ll be launching a new site in October – we’ll be in touch to let you know when this goes live.
We hope you like the new identity.
